If Obama...

Mike L.

I've come to the sad conclusion that no matter what Barack Obama says or does he will maintain the great majority of Jewish American support. This is a guy, as we have discussed constantly in these pages, that wrecked whatever potential that there may have been in the peace process and then blamed the Israelis for the foreseeable outcomes of his own statements and policies. This is a guy who has the gonads to tell Jewish people that we need to search our souls to see if we want peace. This is a guy who described the rise of radical Islam in terms of the American Revolutionary Spirit of '76 and the Civil Rights Movement of the 1950s. This is a guy who just nominated Chuck Hagel, one of the most anti-Israel politicians on the American scene today to the slot of Secretary of Defense and who is sending heavy weaponry to the genocidally anti-Semitic president of Egypt.

So at this point I can only conclude that Obama's behavior is considered entirely beyond reproach no matter what he does against Israel, or the Jewish people, by the majority of American Jews.

Thus:

If Obama sang Hava Nagila in backwards Latin on America's Next Top Model while clubbing baby seals to death they would still write their checks.

I am considering turning "If Obama..." into a regular feature here at Israel Thrives and invite you guys to post your own.

Barack Obama can obviously do no wrong, so allow your imaginations to run wild.

Barack Obama: "When it comes to our national security decisions -- any pressure that I feel is simply to do what's right for the American people. And I am going to block out -- any noise that's out there."

U.S. sees Israel as spy threat (Obama's CIA considers Israel its No. 1 counterintelligence threat in the agency's Near East Division)

Washington reportedly sends Tehran indirect message saying it will not back Israeli strike on nuclear facilities as long as Iran refrains from attacking American facilities in Persian Gulf (U.S. informs Iran that it will not back Israeli strike; Obama working to curb Israeli offensive against Iran)

Israeli security officials say Pentagon's decision to reduce number of US troops it will send to joint drill with Israel not related to growing tensions with Israel; others claim Washington saying 'you will not drag us into Iran war'

Obama to Sarkozy: "You're fed up with him, but I have to deal with him even more often than you."

These are not children in a sandbox on a playground. These are heads of states! These are the leaders of governments! They are talking about the Prime Minister of the intendedly genocidally besieged, endangered, very small sole nation of the Jewish people! Comprehend the significance of this exchange!

The main reason that so many American Jewish people are so oblivious to the reality of the situation (in addition to their having Stockholm syndrome and in addition to their not having "general intelligence") is because they are ignorant about, and misinformed about, world events (including the actions of the Obama administration). The reason that so many American Jewish people are so ignorant about, and misinformed about, world events (including the actions of the Obama administration) is because of the criminally negligent press and criminally deceitfully propagandic press.

Tarek Fatah (Pakistani-Canadian, truly "moderate" Muslim (non-orthodox Muslim (non-Shariah-proponent Muslim)) on the background of Huma Abedin (on the U.S. media's censuring of those who raised the issue of whether or not Huma Abedin was vetted in accordance with U.S. law):

Huma Abedin: the daughter of two Islamists deeply involved with the Muslim Brotherhood; was raised and schooled in Saudi Arabia; was a board member of the Muslim Students Association -- a Muslim Brotherhood front organization; was the assistant editor of a Muslim Brotherhood journal; "an immensely wealthy woman, in the really upper-class of American stage"; the personal advisor to secretary of state, Hillary Clinton

This video demonstrates, including with some video footage, the U.S. media's censuring of those who raised the issue of whether or not Huma Abedin was vetted in accordance with U.S. law.

This video, in the first four minutes of the video, contains video documentation of an instance of the U.S. mainstream mass media's omissive deceitful libelous vilification of the "Tea Party" Constitutional "Conservative" political movement. The following video demonstrates that the U.S. mainstream mass media didn't report on the beating of a Black (African-American) participant in the "Tea Party" political movement by the organization SEIU* at a "Tea Party" meeting. And the following video presents video footage which demonstrates that MSNBC cropped the video image of the head off of a video image of a Black participant in the "Tea Party" movement who was legally carrying a semi-automatic, or automatic, rifle at a "Tea Party" rally, and MSNBC used that cropped video image of him in referring to what they, MSNBC, referred to as "angry" "white" gun-toters who were opposing "a Black president").

Former Democratic pollster and analyst Pat Caddell on the media cover-up of the Obama administration's Bengazi scandal, and about the U.S. news mass media's desertion of their proper role as objective presenters of facts and their taking on the role of propagandists for Barack Obama and the Democratic party:

On the Western mass-media's so-called "reportage" on the so-called "'Palestinian'/Israeli conflict" / "Arab/Israeli conflict" (the Arab and Muslim racist intendedly genocidal war on the nation of the Jewish people):

Anti-Semitism 2.0, by Mudar Zahran (Mudar Zahran is a ‘Palestinian’ Arab writer and academic from Jordan who currently lives in the U.K. as a political refugee.)

"The concept of the ‘evil Jew’ has made a well-disguised comeback: Criticizing Israel and Zionists, is now deemed a legitimate option to cursing Jews and Judaism. Not only is it open, socially acceptable and legal, but it can actually bring prosperity and popularity. This new form of anti-Semitism 2.0 is well-covered-up, harder to trace and poses a much deeper danger to the modern way of life of the civilized world than the earlier crude form of it, as it slowly and gradually works on delegitimizing Jews to the point where it eventually becomes acceptable to target Jews, first verbally, then physically -- all done in a cosmopolitan style where the anti-Semites are well-groomed speakers and headline writers in jackets and ties; and not just Arab, but American and European, from ‘sanitized’ news coverage of the most bloodthirsty radicals, to charges against Israel in which facts are distorted, selectively omitted or simply untrue, as in former President Jimmy Carter's book on Israel. ..."

"...and what's been happening in the Palestinian areas [the 'Palestinian' Arab areas -- the areas controlled by Fatah-PLO and Hamas ('The West Bank' (Judea and Sameria) and 'The Gaza Strip')] since [the 2006 elections between Fatah-PLO and Hamas] is also interesting. You have a power struggle raging between the guys who won the election [Hamas] and the guys who lost the election [Fatah-PLO]. Arafat's people saying: 'Hey, Hamas [indiscernible]', and Hamas saying: 'No, wait, I'm not sitting down [for negotiation talks with Fatah-PLO]. I won in a free and democratic election, and if you don't believe me ask Jimmy Carter -- he supervised the election.' This power struggle has so far claimed the lives of nearly two thousand Palestinians ['Palestinian' Arabs] and thousands of others have been injured. Of course this is a [indiscernible]' we rarely read about in the Globe and Mail and the New York Times and the mainstream media. Why? Because it doesn't have an anti-Israel angle to it."

"When I tried, in '95 and '96 and '97 to alert many of my foreign colleagues to the fact that Arafat was stealing the money, back then, in the financial corruption, and that the ['Palestinian' Arabs] are complaining about this, many of my American, Canadian, European, colleagues, asked me back then if I were on the payroll of 'The Jewish Lobby'. They asked me: 'Did Jews pay you money to say that Arafat is corrupt and bad?'. I told them: 'No, Sir. Jews did not pay me money. Where is this 'Jewish Lobby' you guys are talking about? Maybe I'll just go work for them. It might pay me more than the newspapers.' ..."

And, with regard to the U.S. press (the U.S. news mass media), this is from a press that, in the prelude to the George W. Bush administration's military attack on Saddam Hussein's Iraq*, were cheerleaders of that attack on Saddam Hussein's Iraq - but who, afterward, when their malpractice and complicity was publicly shown, felt humiliated and embarrassed and, as a result of that, reversed course and began to attack the George W. Bush administration, but did so in the same dishonest manner that they had previously apparently been, to a large degree, supporters of the George W. Bush administration.

The motives and factors of the U.S. mass media's criminal negligence and deceitful propaganda effort are:

The motives and factors of the U.S. government's support of Muslim states in the Middle East and support of the Islamic supremacist political movement; and the motives and factors of, involved with that, the U.S. government's war on Israel:

And, in the cases of Jewish so-called "Neo-Conservative" members of the U.S. government, it was merely stupidity and ignorance (and a little bit of Jewish Stockholm Syndrome); and, in the cases of Jewish so-called "Liberal" and so-called "Leftist" members of the U.S. government it is mainly Jewish Stockholm Syndrome and, involved with that, stupidity and ignorance.

Note: * The military attack by the George W. Bush administration on Saddam Hussein's Iraq supported and empowered the Islamic-supremacist regime in Iran.

Barack Obama on the so-called "Arab Spring" (May 19, 2011):

"There are times in the course of history when the actions of ordinary citizens spark movements for change because they speak to a longing for freedom that has been building up for years. In America, think of the defiance of those patriots in Boston who refused to pay taxes to a King, or the dignity of Rosa Parks as she sat courageously in her seat."

The "Arab Spring" was the brutal rise of political Islam in the Middle East and this is what Obama compares the Civil Rights Movement to?

The Fundamental Argument:

The progressive movement, and the activist base of the Democratic Party, creates and supports venues that demonize and defame the Jewish state, thereby also creating hatred toward the Jewish people.

Such venues include political journals, such as, but not limited to, Daily Kos, the Huffington Post, and the UK Guardian, numerous universities throughout the United States and Europe, various NGOs with an anti-Israel agenda, and the entire progressive-left movement to boycott, divest from, and sanction (BDS) the Jewish people of the state of Israel.

These venues and organizations do not generally criticize Israel, but dehumanize that country.

For this reason, among others, the progressive movement, and the activist base of the Democratic Party, undermines the well-being and safety of Jews around the world, sometimes resulting in violence toward us.

Therefore, as a matter of common sense and basic human decency, Jews should leave the progressive movement and the Democratic Party as we seek to build alternative political structures that are not home to toxic anti-Semitic anti-Zionists, who would see us robbed of self-determination and self-defense.

What You Can't Discuss:

This is a partial list of taboo topics within progressive-left venues around the Arab-Israel conflict. You cannot discuss this material because it undermines the "Palestinian narrative" of perpetual victimhood. This narrative is a club used by the Arab and Muslim enemies of Israel, along with their western progressive allies, to delegitimize that country in preparation for its eventual dissolution.

1) The centuries of Jewish dhimmitude under the boot of Islamic imperialism.

2) The recent construction of Palestinian identity, its connection to Soviet Cold War politics, and how this is an Arab people with a Roman name that refers to Greeks.

3) Arab and Palestinian Koranically-based racism as the fundamental source of the conflict.

4) The ways in which contemporary progressive anti-Zionism serves as a cloak for gross anti-Semitism.

5) The Palestinian theft and appropriation of Jewish history.

6) "Pallywood."

7) The historical connections between the Nazis, the Muslim Brotherhood, and the Palestinian national movement.

8) The perpetual refusal of the Palestinian-Arabs to accept a state for themselves in peace next to the Jewish one.

9) The progressive portrayal of terrorists as those fighting a righteous war of "resistance."

10) The Arab-Palestinian indoctrination of children with Jew hatred.

11) Human rights violations against women, children, and Gay people in the Muslim Middle East.

12) The fact that violent Jihadis call themselves "Jihadis" and claim to love death above life.

This is only a partial list, so please let us know the many more that we are missing.
